Cream for your Coffee?

Several tbsp of coconut milk + raw stevia for me. However, I'm interested in this common theme of coconut oil in one's coffee. Never heard of/tried this! Does it just float on the top of the coffee? Might have to try it!0

i drink mine black.0

"I think you might be joking? Sounds interesting. Raw vegan so no thanks though."
Not joking. It's really good. I'd suggest it for you if you weren't a raw vegan who obviously doesn't eat eggs (animal product) or coffee (roasted, not raw).0 -
Ive struggled with this also. Trying to cut back on dairy, but dislike the alternative creamers.
I finally decided on the 'Natural Bliss' brand, - they're in the regular creamer section, but dont have the artificial ingredients and chemicals of the mainstream ones. A teaspoon or two a day wont derail my efforts and it's tastier than half and half.0 -
I gave up cream in my coffee when I was 5. Just kidding of course. I like coffee black, no sugar. I must admit I'm curious to try it w/ coconut oil though! Sounds yummy ^_^0

yes!!!0

I use heavy cream in my coffee, sometimes I add coconut milk. I didn't care for coconut oil or butter in the coffee, heavy cream or coconut milk or both is greatness. I gave up the artificial sweeteners seven months ago and just drink the coffee with the cream and no sweetness.0

I drink black coffee, very strong. A heaping 1/3 cup grounds Folger's Black Silk, Dark to 6 cups of water. My children tease me about drinking oil or sludge.
On occasion I will have some flavored creamer, 2-3 times a week for a dessert.
If you are drinking 1-3 cups of coffee a day with 1 tablespoon of cream, I'm sure you can work that into your totals. If you are drinking 6-7 or even 9-10 cups a day with cream, you might consider drinking most of it black.0 -
I take mine black, it takes a bit of getting used to but once you do you are set for life. My husband (vegan) likes his with a splash of almond milk just to take the "edge" off a strong cup.0

If it fits in your macros than go for it. Its organic and natural its not processed and fat is needed to function properly (brain/heart etc)
I personally will never give up cream or lattes lol.0 -
Coffee with creamer is my weakness. I've tried drinking it black, but I just can't. I'm intrigued by the coconut oil idea though, I've recently started using it more and more with cooking and such. I once was a Coffeemate girl, but I've switched to coconut/almond milk. I want to experiment with some alternatives because I doubt I'll ever drink it black0
-
besides switching to clean nutrition, I've reduced sugar big time also. used to have cream and sugar in coffee. then went down to cream. now black the last three years.0
-
I put about 40 to 60 grams of whole milk in. Yum!!
Also, I love coconut milk in tea0 -
Love my coffee with milk and honey!0

I love my coffee in the morning and I use 10 % cream. It's from a local dairy and it doesn't have Carageenan. It's hard to find dairy products without it, but it's worth the search. You are better off to go with a natural food higher in fat than a low fat alternative. They take out the fat and add sugar.0
-
Have you considered straight up milk + Sugar in the Raw (or Stevia)???0
-
Is coffee creamer mostly an American thing? I'm Australian and hadn't even heard of doing it until joining MFP lol?
Anyway, not sure if you'd be interested but I think the taste of unsweetened vanilla almond milk is so nice in coffee (40 cals per 250ml!) and I add a teaspoon of stevia as well.0 -
I've recently given up the flavored creams and I'm now just doing half and half or unsweetened almond milk-vanilla. On my weak mornings I add a teaspoon of sugar.0
-
I replaced sugar with raw honey and then add a couple tablespoons of whole milk.
I tried almond milk but I just don't like the flavor.
My son suggested coconut cream to replace both sugar and milk in my coffee, but I haven't tried that yet.
